GETTING CLOSE TO GOD

[Apostle, Roosevelt Riley]

Many leaders do not teach members/disciples how to get close to God. God's people must learn how to get close to Him. Moreover, they must learn how to become independant. In the Book of Acts, apostles are to set doctrines for churches. When there are not apostles over your ministry, then there will be chaos, lack of spiritual growth and people are not getting close to God. Apostles, Prophets, Evangelists, Pastors and Teachers are the official leaders of God's churches. The Lord Jesus is the High Apostle (Hebrews, chapter 3).

If you desire to get close to God, then first become humble, willing and obedient to those who have the rule over you (Hebrew, chapter 13). Next, you must learn to worship the Lord God, Almighty as often as possible-everyday. Then, you must learn how to serve your leaders and others. Finanlly, you must find your place in the five fold ministry. Be faithful! Be dutiful! Be patient! Do not complain! Love God with all your heart, mind, soul and strength!!! Remember, God first loved us (1 John, chpater 4) ; (John, chpater 3).
